This is actually pretty good. The first time I started it, the whole premise seemed stupid beyond belief, but on some further reading it somewhat makes sense, and the characters, the story, the development are all very good. It's not completed yet, but looks extremely promising. It also seems to follow KareKano with the idea that it starts light and keeps adding darker and darker stuff. I wonder if there'd be actual deaths in this one.

There are a lot of interesting things in the book, describing the inspiration/sources for most of his books. What I can't stand for some reason is how he sounds in English, this is probably one of the very few authors I prefer to read in translation.

Interesting history of some of the excesses and espionage-related things of the Ceausescu regime. The author does a very bad job of explaining himself, and the whole christian, love of America, etc. thing is pretty bad for a professional liar.

(for the whole series) The whole thing is somewhat ok, but full of cliches and too far beyond belief. There's some good character development towards the end, but for example the main character is pretty close to the same kind of idiot he was at the beginning. Makes as ok thing to read while waiting for something.

There are a lot of interesting and important details in the book. It's definitely worth reading. So, the rest is just gripes with the author. This could've been 4 times shorter. What this looks like is the type of textbook that a professor gives to his students to write, and then edits and adds a bit, but is far from optimal. Half of this sounds like "look how cool my company is", some of it is hair-raising (although the authors probably don't understand that), and there are a few good things here and there. I understand the need to sell the idea, but the whole book has gone overboard on that...
